Found this at the flea market in CZW Champion Matt Tremont's store:  Finally a major want off of my checklist! |

Congrats, that's an outstanding find! Thank you. I got my first half loose without the posts and hooks for about $15 online, so I was amazed to see this Complete and MOC for only $5. Now if I can just get black turnbuckle posts and steps from the modern steel cage and some custom AE ring skirts from Naparo, I will be at peace with my ring! |

I remember first seeing the images of the pimped-out hardcore ring on the back of the box and wishing I could get all the stuff for it one day. I don't think I've ever seen it done apart from the box image. |

Still bums me out that the 2000 Raw is War stage was cardboard. That was always my favorite Raw set design... I might get the 1998/1999 one if it's cheap enough. |

My only regret was not taking the wrestlemania ring skirt too... I was in a hurry and didn't need it as much. Would have gotten it more so to resell to someone else who may have needed it. It was the generic one with the black yellow and blue ropes... I suppose if someone truly needed it, they probably met their destiny today as I have. |

I usually go in with my brother but never find much... Today was obviously different. Also, upon removing the price sticker, I learned that he was originally charging $10. So I got a 50% discount! And I dont have the ring either, I just liked how they weren't as giant sized as the RSR cotton turnbuckles and how they had the wwf logos on them. I got the idea from ellisd's RSR fix up thread he posted. In fact, if I ever decided to get the "latest RSR", the red turnbuckles could also fix that one too. Originally, I didn't care for the red, but since I have both sets complete, I'm happy to have more options! |

I know the turnbuckles for WMX8 weren't really yellow on the ppv, but they do look pretty neat. But remove the logos and you have perfect pads for an ASR with the WCW Ring mat/skirt combo! Do the same with the red wwf ones and you have Monday Nitro as well! |

Sweet find man, $5 is a helluva deal It's still mindblowing to me. I have to wait to test it out when I make it back to my ring. On an unrelated note, does anyone have any advice on how to make the old raw titantron look less ridiculous? I find the squares with the wrestler's faces kinda cheesy looking... Was thinking of using a hardcore ring gear raw is war apron for the side banners and a generic wwf apron part for the tron spot. I'll post a mock up. *EDIT*  CREDIT TO metalhead92matt for the ring skirt logos and Jakks Pacific for the proto pic. |

Great find!
Having the Jakks Hardcore Ring, I've always been on the lookout for this at a decent price but still haven't found them. Definitely a steal!

Great find! Having the Jakks Hardcore Ring, I've always been on the lookout for this at a decent price but still haven't found them. Definitely a steal! I know exactly how you feel... To get my first set, I had to bounty hunt ebay with many key words endlessly until something came up. Was lucky enough to find a buy it now for a fair price... The second set was pure luck and with that said, I couldn't believe it! So my advice is to stalk the online markets until something comes up. Still doing this in hopes of finding my other wants... And also, DO NOT HESITATE on a good deal because chances are, it'll be months before another comes up! You can see this in an old thread of mine (also mentioning the acquisition of my first set) |

I need a set for my WCW Nitro Ring. |

I need a set for my WCW Nitro Ring. unfortunately, from the looks of things, I dont think I plan on parting with them (yet). Ironically, I was originally trying to sell my red half for another black half back when I got my first set. But now I'm interested in what I can do with them. As suggested above, ebay is a great solution. It just requires patience and dedication. |
